Abstract-- In evolutionary algorithms, the fitness of a population increases with time by mutating and recombining individuals and by a biased selection of more fit individuals. Th...
This paper considers a number of selection schemes commonly used in modern genetic algorithms. Specifically, proportionate reproduction, ranking selection, tournament selection, a...
We discuss the use of normal distribution theory as a tool to model the convergence characteristics of di erent GA selection schemes. The models predict the proportion of optimal a...
Abstract. When Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are employed in multimodal function optimization, engineering and machine learning, identifying multiple peaks and maintaining subpopulation...
For handwritten pattern recognition, multiple classifier system has been shown to be useful in improving recognition rates. One of the most important issues to optimize a multipl...
